Rough Edge Quartet bring a special blend of original Rocksteady Reggae'n'Ska, Jazz-tipped Funk, and Afro-beat Grooves directly to the dancefloor to get you moving with the positive vibes.
A range of influences across a global spectrum provides a fresh and rootsy sound for the modern listener. The positive mix of genres creates soulful riffs and addictive rhythms. Rocksteady drums and bass lay the foundation for the skanking guitar, international keys, and four piece vocals.
R.E.Q's live show is second to none, and gets people dancing from the word go. There's always room for some improvisation to keep the spark fresh, and the boys have been playing together in bands for over 6 years now, so the roots are strong, and the grooves are tight. Get your skankin' shoes on!
We are inspired by a massive range of wholesome worldly vibes, here are a refined few... Fela Kuti & sons, Tony Allen, Ernest Ranglin, The Police, The Gladiators, Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Monty Alexander, Dennis Brown, Herbie Hancock, The Skatalites, Led Zeppelin, John Scoffield, Thievery Corporation, Kruder and Dorfmesiter, Manu Chao, King Sunny Ade, Kanda Bongo Man, Ali Farka Toure, Steel Pulse, the omnipresent Sly & Robbie, Leftfield, Eek-a-Mouse, Miles Davis, John Coltrane.

Rough Edge Quartet Performing 'Walk' @ Notting Hill Arts Club
As you may or may not be aware SoundARC hold a charity gig every year at Club 85 in Hitchin in aid of the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, and this year we are going to try something a little different from previous years.
This year we are going to take over the club and host 37 acts in one weekend putting full bands upstairs and acoustic acts downstairs in an event that we are calling ARCfest!
It all starts on Friday 4th December at 7pm and then continues on through Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th from 12pm-11pm
As well as raising money for the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, ARCfest will showcase all the different genres of bands that we at SoundARC have come across over the last 4 and a half years. Over this weekend a lot of the acts that you will see don’t get a chance to play a great local venue like Club 85, So as well as hearing new music you will see all manors of genres and styles from acoustic - Metal - Indie - Rock - Punk - Electro - Ska - Funk - Hip Hop/Rap - Alternative - Rhythm & Blues - Reggae - Grunge and loads more that I cant remember!

For those who haven't heard, we'll be in the studio these next few months to record a new album with the renowned reggae singer, Eyon Irie. After that it's summer shows and writing songs for the next Orbits album!
In the meantime, if you don't have our self-titled cd yet, you can still pick it up on CD Baby and Itunes.
